I've been using nix as a desktop for close to 20 years now =) I went through a phase where I compiled my desktop with Gentoo, OpenBSD, FreeBSD -- I tried a ton of things. They were all fun, but required a __ton__ of time to get set up properly and be successful with. About 8 years ago I started using Ubuntu for most things and for the most part, things just "worked". The one exception was graphics drivers. For some reason, getting graphics drivers working __properly__ was always hell for me. About 1.5 years ago I heard about Pop!_Os and gave that a try. It's a distribution built on top of Ubuntu that provides superior driver support for NVidia/AMD and generally solves all the issues I've had. Now I use that and have a completely hassle-free experience, with literally no downsides so far. If you're a nix desktop user, I strongly recommend checking it out. It's been a godsend for me: https://pop.system76.com/ https://pop.system76.com/
